Can a five-month-old baby eat mangosteen?

Patient's question:

The child has been crying non-stop recently and isn't eating much. Can a five-month-old baby eat mangosteen?

Doctor's answer:

You can, squeeze the durian, then dilute it a bit, and give it to the baby to drink. Durian is a cool-natured fruit. Babies with high body temperature can eat some of it, but if the baby is weak, it's better to eat less.
If the baby doesn't sleep well at night, as you mentioned, it might be related to weaning. For children of this age, they are generally prone to calcium deficiency, which might also be the cause. It is recommended to supplement calcium for the baby for a period of time to see how it works.
If it really is related to the nipple, it's possible that the baby is not yet accustomed to it. In that case, you can remove the nipple after the baby falls asleep and take it slow. Over time, it might improve.
Wishing the baby healthy growth.
